Teacher's Voice:

"Good morning, class! Today, we are going to become information detectives! Before we start learning about writing, let’s warm up our brains. I want you to think about something you find really interesting. It could be a favorite animal, a special place, or even a fun toy."

Step 1: Think Time

• Ask the students: "Can you think of something you find interesting? Maybe it’s a lion, the ocean, or even your superhero toys!"
• Give them a moment to think quietly.

Step 2: Share with a Partner

• Now, turn to your partner and share what you thought about!
• Encourage them to ask questions about each other's ideas.

Step 3: Class Share

• After sharing, ask a few students: "Would anyone like to share their interesting thing with the whole class?"
• Celebrate their ideas by saying, "What great choices! Each of these is full of information that we can write about!"
